The Guardian reports that Panathinaikos fans returning to Greece got stuck into Olympiakos supporters outside Athens' airport. The Olympiakos fans were on the way to Spain to watch their team against Real Sociedad. Part of the reason for the fighting is seen as the 'deep shame' felt by the Panathinaikos support after the 5-0 drubbing they received.

"At Old Trafford, Panathinaikos tried to play football but they didn't know how," the Greek newspaper SporTime said.
